"Amelia was going to a Halloween party last Thursday so I made her up to look like a witch by dabbing my finger in the face paint and quickly putting it on her face.

"I sent her off to the party which was two hours long and noticed my fingers were green. I tried to wash them with soap but the colour was still there.

"It was then I realised that I wouldn't be able to get it off Amelia's face. I tried everything to shift it off my hands and even bleach wouldn't shift it.

"I tried everything to get the paint off such as baby wipes, baby lotion and baby oil but nothing worked."

After trying lots of products on Amelia's face, a nursery manager told Louise that she should use WD40.

She added: "While Amelia was in the bath I applied WD40 on a cotton wool bud and dabbed her cheek to get it off, avoiding her eyes.

"It was the only thing which worked but I didn't want to put it anywhere near her eyes so she's been left with green eyebrows and eye sockets.

"It's lucky it's Halloween because she can get away with it but she's going back to school and it could take weeks for it to completely fade."

Wilkos yesterday confirmed they had launched an investigation into the face paint but had not ordered a recall.

A spokesperson said: "Wilko confirms it is investigating a complaint from a customer after it was stated their daughter had difficulty removing its Green Face Paint.

"The company says that the product has passed all relevant testing including the European Standard for Safety of Toys EN71, parts 1, 2 & 3, and a Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment.

"Wilko states this is the first instance of this type of complaint about this popular product but it is nevertheless investigating the matter urgently and will respond further to the customer as soon as possible."
